Canada Stocks to Watch: Talisman, Hudson’s Bay and More

Canadian energy company Talisman Energy Inc. said late Monday that it had been approached by “a number of parties,” including Spain’s Repsol SA, regarding various unspecified transactions. Back in July, Talisman and Repsol discussed possible transactions, though those talks later stalled.

Hudson’s Bay Co.’s fiscal third-quarter results got a big boost from last year’s acquisition of Saks Inc. It reported a much smaller loss and said sales almost doubled to C$1.91 billion. The big retailer also said it continues to make progress in surfacing value from its real-estate portfolio.
